Jazmine Sullivan, Title TBD (J Records)
Release Date: Summer 2010
Jazmine Sullivan is one album into her promising music career but the singer/songwriter is already well aware of the disadvantages of being a celebrity. "Come on y'all, let's be real/Never spoke to me till I got a deal/You don't know me but you do me favors/I don't know you so I see you later," the sassy 21-year-old songstress sings on "Blow," a track scheduled for her upcoming sophomore album. "Vanity Six," produced by Carlos "Los Da Mystro" McKinney, is an ode to Prince. "Just play my favorite song, get my '86 on/Don't make me wait too long, just play my favorite song/I'll get my Vanity Six on," she chants over drums and horns. "You Get on My Nerves," produced by Ne-Yo, finds Sullivan smugly pointing out to an ex-lover, "You should never have to call pretending/You should have known I was done when I busted your windows," in reference to her 2009 hit single, "Bust Your Windows."
I love me some Jazmine Sullivan! Looking forward to her sophomore album. I'm sure it'll be just as great, if not better, than the first. She goes hard and she can sing.
